Former Olympiakos coach Marco Silva has emerged as a surprise candidate to rival ex-Birmingham boss Gary Rowett for the vacant manager's job at Hull City, sources close to the club have told ESPN FC.
Hull are looking for a new boss after Mike Phelan was sacked on Tuesday evening with the Tigers bottom of the Premier League, having taken only 13 points from their first 20 games.
Rowett, who left Championship side Birmingham City three weeks ago, is among those linked with the job at the KCOM Stadium, but he now has an unexpected rival in Silva.
